Well, everyone who reads my blog, I've got a new one up now and you can visit it here. Wish me luck on it. I won't be visiting this one anymore ;).

I've JUST sent off for some hosting (http://ax-hosting.com) and I hope I get it soon :D. Maybe I could even get a Wordpress blog in it!

It only costs £19 a year (including domain) and had many features :).

Here you can find my own little website that my friend helped set up for me (thanks dude!). Have a look around it if you want!

Yeah, I know I haven't been posting a lot but I've been a bit busy with school and stuff. But luckily there's only 3 weeks to go until the summer holidays :)!

Sadly, my internet doesn't work at the moment. I'm currently posting at school and I'm not sure if this problem will be in the long term, or in the short term. So, I might not be posting a lot. Anyway, fingers crossed to see if I can get it working soon :).

P.S. Yay, I finally got it working. Just saying this here because there's no point in making another post really...

Well, after not liking the new matrix header (it must be my crappy photoshop skills :P) I decided to change it, so, hope you all enjoy it :D.

Oh, and yes, the slogan WAS random.

P.S. Sorry for posting 2 new header posts consecutively.

Well, I finally got a new header for this blog. I decided to use this tutorial on creating matrix text in photoshop (I didn't follow ALL of it) and it looks like it worked quite well :).

If you don't like it just say and I might change it back.

P.S. Only one more day until the end of the exams.....

P.P.S. After 1 day of having this header I already decided I didn't want it (must be my super photoshop skills :P). So I'm in the process of making another one.

After finally getting Photoshop and letting it lie in my computer sleeping for several weeks. I decided to use it to make an avatar or display picture. I must say it was a success and I think it's pretty good for a beginner :D. Here it is:



I've created some stuff before but it was a bit, you know, crap :P. Oh yeah, here's the link to it on Flickr.

At this very moment it's midday now and I'm at school on my lunch break. Sadly I've got the exams next week so I'll be doing a lot of revising. Thus (unfortunately), I won't be posting a lot. Just every so often when I get a chance. So, until the exams are finished (and had a well earned break), later ;).

P.S. I can't believe the school blocked the Shoutbox. Damn bastards.

Apparently, the person who plays Darth Vader in the movies doesn't want to be Darth Vader anymore; he would prefer to be an architect. But, a radio station think they can think of better jobs for him.

You can listen to it from this link. A Funny and hilarious thing to listen to (even if you're not into Star Wars, like me).

A while ago I got an email from somebody asking how to go about making a link open in a new window. I emailed it back and I thought maybe some other people would like some help at this. So, here goes:

All you have to do is edit the HTML of the link. Here's some examples:

[a href="http://blahblah.com/"]Blah Blah[/a]

That was before changing it to make it open in a new link (also note that I didn't use proper HTML tags because it would have actuall read it and made a link, so just replace it with proper HTML tags.

Now, all you have to do is put target="_blank" after the link. As shown:

[a href="http://blahblah.com/" target="_blank"]Blah Blah[/a]

That's all there is to it :).

Hope this helped ;).

Here, a customer writes:

"Thankyou so very much. When I was told about this site I assumed it was some kind of bizarre internet stunt or sick joke.

I completed the questionaire just to see what would happen and had forgotten about it until I received your written offer. I'm now living a lifestyle that I had only previously dreamt about - with no ill effects."

If you want to know how to get that nice shoutbox I have on my sidebar. All you have to do is sign up to this website, get the code and put it into your template :). Easy as 1 2 3 eh?

It also comes in a large variety of colours to suit you and any other members of your blog :P.

If you haven't heard of it yet, but there's a very high chance you have, then Firefox is a web browser. Just like Internet Exlorer, Netscape, or any other like them. The only difference is that it's safer, quicker and better.

You may have heard that Internet Explorer is unsafe. Well all you have to do is just download Firefox and then you're completely safe, you just need to put some common sense while surfing the net. This is why I added the little button on the sidebar to help people convert to Firefox and don't get scarred by IE. Oh yes, this blog is better viewed in Firefox, so, yet another reason to get it! To see that Firefox is better, visit my Flickr! to see the two photos (Blog in IE and Blog in Firefox) and judge for yourself.

Here is a counter of the number of downloads Firefox has had so far:


Refresh it to get the up-to-date number and to change the font (don't know why it does that). Oh, and it might not work sometimes so....

To add your own button to spread firefox, visit this website.

In conclusion: Change your bullshit browser to Firefox if you haven't already.

P.S. It has come to my attention that people think it carries viruses. If you believe this, then where's the proof? :)

Flickr is basically like a blog only with photos that I signed up to for this blog. I haven't posted any yet but you can find the links to the right on the Linkage section. I reccommend it to anyone who wants to start a photo-blog, or put photos into their blog :D.

While randomly searching on Google, I decided to search for hazthepilot, which was my old nickname (now haztheprogrammer). It turned out that it worked and I found something from Kirklees News website. I started wondering why on earth someone would talk about me on a website. I clicked on it and it turned out that it was about my old blog so I was quite amazed that someone would talk about MY old blog.

This is a picture from Flickr of the website. It might be hard to see because it's been resized. Feel free to browse my old blog. It fucked up (well, the index page did) when my friend tried to import some posts to another blog that I yet abandoned.

You may have or may have not noticed that I've deleted the counter. That's because it kept on fucking up all the time. So, no more counters for me :).

If you don't want to have the title showing up in your new header if you'd created some text of your own, then just follow this simple tutorial to stop that.

Go to the Kubrich template and find the bit that says:

[div id="kheader"]

That was, of course, with true HTML tags. But due to some difficulties I need to replace them with square brackets.

With in that bit you should be able to find a bit that says:

title="[$BlogTitle$]"][$BlogTitle$]

All you have to do is delete the very last [$BlogTitle$] and all should work :).

Hope this tutorial helped :D.

This is my little tutorial based from this one here. With just a few modifications of my own.

First you need to find a picture that you'll like to be put as the header. Make sure it's at least 720 x 180 pixels in size.

Secondly, get the default Kubrick header which can be found here. Then save it to your computer.

Thirdly, open the header with Photoshop. If you don't have it you can download Photoshop CS from this website (or this one if you run on Mac).

Then you select the header with the magic hand tool. This can be a bit fiddly. Once you have it selected, copy it to your clipboard.

Now open up your picture with Photoshop and paste the header onto it. Then change the header opacity to 50% so you can see where you're placing it (this didn't wokr for me so I just did it with pure guess work, it must have just been me :P).

Once you have placed over the area change the opacity back to 100% and then in the layers box select the layer that contains the picture but don't select anything else after that. Now copy it to your clipboard.

Open up the original header again and paste the picture onto the header. Now place it over the blue header so nothing else shows. If you want to add some text the do so (if you do you'll need to move to another one of my mini-tutorials which I'll be writing soon). If you don't add text then make sure that you'll be able to see the white title.

Now, save it as a .jpg file and then host it on a picture hosting website website (like Imageshack) and then get the direct link to the picture.

Once you have the link go to your Kubrick template code you found off Blogger-Templates and go to the bit that says:

#kheader {
background: url("LINK HERE") no-repeat bottom center #73a0c5;
}

In the "LINK HERE" bit just put in the direct link you got for the picture (but make sure the URL is still encased with double quotes) and all should work :).

Hope this tutorial helped you :D.

At around mid-day while talking to my friends on MSN, I received my Mini Ipod after waiting for it a while. I immediately took it to the computer, unpacked it and installed all the software and put all my songs on it. Now I'm playing it as I type :).

I'd reccommend getting one because of the large amount of songs you're able to put on it (about 1000 with 4GB). Well I'm off to upload some more songs. Later ;).

Here you can find an awesome website with some really nice templates for Blogger. Personally I chose the Kubrick because of it's nice, round curves :P. You can also find some other cool stuff there to help with your blog and do some stuff with it.

Hey,

Welcome to my blog and I hope you like it :). I made this blog today for my 13th birthday so I'm just at the right age for it! I did use this account before today but that was for testing this Kubrick template (I prefer it to the other Blogger ones), so you can't really blame me. I tried putting my D.O.B. into my profile but, strangely, it says that I'm still 12. Or maybe it's because of time zones. So, you can't touch me Blogger!

Well, I hope you like the blog and come to read it regularly :)!
